Emma Powell says it is a way of silencing whistleblowers speaking out against an aide close to the minister.
Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu has ended the term of office of the current interim board at Amatola Water, after years of “instability and infighting”.
Sisulu has tried a variety of interventions to resolve management and governance issues at Amatola Water, said ministry spokesperson McIntosh Polela. However, decisions that were taken by the board would remain valid and in force. These included investigations into the current CEO, who was recently placed on special precautionary leave with full pay.
These included a sworn affidavit by the CEO under investigation, detailing allegations of political interference in the board’s activities by a ministerial aide, closely linked to Sisulu.
